Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time12 mins

Ingredients

  • 20 oz package of pre-made cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 3/4 cup salami, chopped
  • 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup artichokes in oil
  • 1/4 cup pepperoncini, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls
  • 3/4 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot of boiling, salted water,
    cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain and transfer to a large
    serving bowl. Drizzle pasta to coat with a few tablespoons of balsamic
    dressing. Set aside.
    Chop the salami, sundried tomatoes,
    artichokes and pepperoncini. Add to pasta. Gently fold in arugula and mozzarella. Drizzle
    with additional dressing
  • For the dressing - combine the vinegar, dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until thick and creamy. I prefer to whisk dressings with a fork, instead of a whisk - better results. Enjoy!
